New Xpert Skeleton Gun Range: Built for Every Bead and Every Budget
- 29 April 2026
- Glazing Hand Tools
The range of products installers are expected to use on site is growing. While standard silicones are still the bread and butter of every job, there’s no shortage of thicker, high-grab adhesives and MS polymers in the van these days. They’re great for a secure bond, but they can be a nightmare to get out with a standard sskeleton gun, especially on a cold morning or at the end of a long shift.
At Xpert, we know the frustration of a hand-cramp mid-bead or a gun that just isn’t up to the task when the material gets stubborn. That’s why we’ve overhauled our range, replacing our previous heavy-duty model with two new versions designed to tackle every job and match every budget.
“We spend a lot of time talking to installers about what’s in their vans,” says Sarah Parker, Xpert Business Development Manager. “It became clear that a ‘one size fits all’ gun wasn’t cutting it anymore. Some guys just want a reliable, lightweight skeleton gun for their daily sealing, while others are struggling with heavy-duty polymers that fight back. By splitting the range, we’re making sure every trade professional can pick the exact tool that makes their life easier on-site.”
The New Lineup: From Everyday Essentials to Pro Performance
The Xpert Skeleton Gun (SIL99997)
For your day-to-day sealing, you need a tool that’s reliable, lightweight, and doesn’t make a mess. This is our ‘everyday essential.’ It features a responsive pressure-release trigger to keep that annoying run-on to a minimum, and a handy integrated nozzle cleaner to clear clogs on the spot. It’s the dependable choice for a clean, professional finish without the fuss.
The Xpert Dual Pro (SIL99991)
This is the heavy-duty powerhouse for the pro who uses it all, from standard silicones to the stiffest structural adhesives. The standout feature is the switchable dual-power ratio.
Flip it to 10:1 for your standard sealant work or click it over to 20:1 to get double the leverage on high-viscosity polymers. It takes the strain out of the squeeze, giving you total control and a consistent flow every time. Add in a 360° revolving barrel for those awkward tight corners and a switchable dripless mode, and you’ve got a gun that works as hard as you do.
The Right Tool for the Job
Both new models come with our 12-month product guarantee, so you can trust they’re built to last in the back of the van and on the job. Whether you want a simple, cost-effective solution or a high-performance hybrid that adapts to your material, the new Xpert range has you covered.
